ObamaCare threatens to institutionalize systemic national failure. Here is why


What follows in this post, is a report found at Breitbart.com.  it brings up an aspect about ObamaCare is proving to be a monstrous issue.  It appears that resistance to ObamaCare,  at all levels of our society,  whether public or private,  will institutionalize the failure of ObamaCare.  Private industry is turning over its employed populations to the Feds,  something Obama promised would not happen,  something that will inflate the cost of this idiot “plan”  far beyond predicted costs.  Adding to the cost,  is the pressure brought to bear by the several states who have declared a refusal to be used in the setting up of the Federal exchanges needed to facilitate this colossal expansion of government.   Because as many as 25 states will not spend money to set up this scam,  the Federal government will have to come up with billions of dollars,  it had not intended to spend,  to get this program off the ground. . . . . . . . . . 

A perfect example of rightwing reporting nonsense. (Yes, our side plays the misinformation game, too).

In this article from the Daily Caller,  the point of the text is the “dumbing down” of American education.  As an example,  the Caller used Jeapardy with the first time ever,   tie game,   featuring all “zeros”  as final totals.  All three contestants wound up with no money,  after trying to answer the final question.  “Dumbing down”  was the conclusion of the Daily Caller. 
Obviously,  the author of this article is more the example,  than the young people on the award winning program.  I watched the show.  I was as surprised as anyone with its outcome.  I do not remember the final totals before each young candidate  placed their final wager,  but I do remember the total  of the young man on the left,  in the picture below  ---   he had won 16,400 dollars  -- no “dumbing down”  represented in that total ! Unfortunately,  he did not have the final answer,  and had bet the entire $16,400.  

The Daily Caller missed this point,  but reported its ignorant conclusion anyway.  

Talk about “dumbing down !!!!!”   



Dr. Benjamin Carson confronts "death panels," deficit spending and class warfare. No applause from Obama (video)

Obama applauded just once,  at the end of Dr. Carson’s speech,  probably because it was over,  since he saw no need to applaud at any time during the speech.  Michelle was quite generous with her applause,  as was the audience,  in general.  

Toward the end of Dr. Carson’s speech,  you will hear him attack “death panels,”  class warfare,  “fiscal irresponsibility.” I listened to the entire speech and took away this observation:  Carson's subtle criticisms were well received,  proving that this nation can recover after Obama is gone.  I especially enjoyed his comment about the "bald" eagle as a symbol of this nation's freedom.  He made the point that the eagle is able to rise in the skies because of its wings  . . . . . .  a left wing and a right wing. 



Sequester is about cutting 100 billion per year for ten years, while we will spend 4 trillion per year, during that same period of time. Do the math before you start crying and gnashing your teeth.



Here is a “white paper” directly from the White House site,  trying to stoke the fires of fear  and concern for the fast approaching Sequester  that is due to be imposed at the end of this month.  Take a moment and scroll down its text.  Note its comprehensive appearance.  A simple glance at this document  would  seem to tell you,  “This is the beginning of the end of the world.” 
Now,  think about these two facts and know that the white paper is so much nonsense.  

First,  B Obama and his buddy,  Jack Lew,  his nominee for Secretary of Treasury,    came up this big idea.  It was their idea,  to begin with !!  

Secondly,  because of a thing called “services baseline budgeting,  every category of government spending increases AUTOMATICALLY by 5 to 8 percent each and every year,  depending upon the category ,  itself. 
In the coming 10 year period,  we will add 47 trillion (with a T),  to budgetary spending.  The Sequester,  takes that total down by 1.2 trillion   ---   in other words,  next to nothing,  so let's stop all the hair pulling and pretend grief.  It is true that the military will be hit the hardest,  but will survive.  The blessing in all this,  is the fact, that the Dems only want to cut military spending,  but  500 billion dollars in this deal,  will be taken out of entitlement spending (against their will) .  Understand that Medicare is 47 trillion in debt and Social Security is 17 trillion.  We have no choice but to do something  --  and this 500 billion is spread over the course of 10 years,  or 50 billion per year.  I am saying,  we can do this.  Certainly, there will be a little pain,  but,  again,  we have no choice;  we are fast running out of money and "entitlements" are more the cause than is military spending  -  by far.  




Fact Sheet: Examples of How the Sequester Would Impact Middle Class Families, Jobs and Economic Security
Unless Congress acts by March 1st, a series of automatic cuts—called a sequester—that threaten thousands of jobs and the economic security of the middle class will take effect.  There is no question that we need to cut the deficit, but the President believes it should be done in a balanced way that protects investments that the middle class relies on.  Already, the President has worked with Congress to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion, but there’s more to do.  The President believes we can not only avoid the harmful effects of a sequester but also reduce the deficit by $4 trillion total by cutting even more wasteful spending and eliminating tax loopholes for the wealthy. . . . . . . . . . . . . .  

A note to my readership about this blog's future.



This blog is dedicated to political news effecting our United States of America and commentary (mostly original) regarding this politic.   Although I will break with this designed agenda from time to time,  still,  this is not a sports blog,  a gossip blog,  a movie review blog or a general information blog.  It is a political blog,  and when there is no “politicking” going on,  there is little to report or review. 

We are in the slowest political news cycle of the past 5 years.  Headlines on the several news portals I use for information,  remain essentially the same for days,  with very little change.  Friday nights are often given to “news dumping,”  the release of

That racist cop killer is still in the news and running free. 40 individuals Dorner intends to kill are being protected until this loser is caught.


The radicalized Left is coming together in a media show of support for this angry black whiner,  a man who blames race for his problems,  in spite of the fact that many of his superiors (on the LA police force) are,  themselves,  black.  

To read many of the comments on Twitter,  you would think he is a hero instead of a cold blooded murderer of an Asian girl and her boyfriend and two cops,  one of which supported him in his official complaints.  

But,  as I have pointed out many times,  the political Left has been taken over by this violent demographic and it is part of the reason some of us buy guns.  Self protection is no one’s “fantasy need.” 

Loss of interest in the politics of division is at an all-time high.



It's almost like they don't give a damn," he said, in a "Squawk Box" interview that aired Friday.

The Oscar-winning director who's also known for his tough-guy roles asked rhetorically, "If they don't give a damn, why did they expect anybody else to?"  (source:  CNBC News)

Political blog traffic is down,  across the board,  liberal and conservative publishers,  combined.  I have lost nearly two thirds of my traffic since the November elections,  and still,  my world wide ranking is the same as before.  Conclusion?  My traffic woes are identical to all other blogs or my rating would have fallen by 10 million or more.  It has not. 

We have good reason to disbelieve all of Iran's military claims.



From the loony regime that just figured how to shoot a monkey into space: Iran now claims it has its own homemade, radar-beating stealth fighter jet.

But aviation and defense experts say the tiny one-seater looks like a toy and might not even be able to fly — calling it a “laughable fake.”

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled the Qaher F313 at a Tehran hangar last week and called it “one of the most advanced” aircraft in the world.

But the experts said it was too small for a human pilot — and the controls and wiring looked too simple for a real jet. (from the New York Post)
Understand that Iran may not be the terrible threat some in this world think it is.  Certainly,  its goals of regional dominance and the destruction of Israel are real,  but just how advanced is its military complex,  remains to be seen.  

Iran continues to advance itself, militarily, because, in part, of a feckless US foreign policy - thanks to Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton.



Iran has long claimed it managed to reverse-engineer the RQ-170 Sentinel, seized in December 2011 after it entered Iranian airspace from its eastern border with Afghanistan, and that it's capable of launching its own production line for the unmanned aircraft.  (Telegraph.co.uk)

Understand that the buffoon's in charge of Obama’s defense department,  allowed a spy drone to  “crash” land in the deserts of Iran.  While they had time to either rescue the fallen craft or destroy it,  instead,  they did nothing allowing the Iranian’s to capture the pristine aircraft (pictures in Iranian hands, above), and work to replicate its advanced engineering. 

One wonders what is Obama’s plan for the Muslim/Jihadist Middle East.   

He insults Israel at every turn,  labeling the Jewish nation an “occupier” in his infamous “Cairo speech” of 2009.  He refuses to call Jerusalem the capital of Israel.  He expects Israel to return to the pre-1967 boundaries.  He sits on his hands,  to this day,  while Iran gets ever closer to becoming a

Chris Dorner, the LA cop killer on the loose, is a product (?) of the anarchist Progressive community and here is why.



Christopher Jordan Dorner  went on a killing rampage yesterday,  and is still on the loose,  today,   after killing three in a series of revenge killings.  He is angry that he was fired as a LA cop,  and – of course – blames race prejudice for the action against him.  All angry black Obama supporters blame “racism” for their failures.  

He voted for Obama,  supports Piers Morgan and is a life-long Democrat.  Should we blame Provgressivism and its trend to violent rebellion?  “They" blamed Palin and the teaparty for the Gabby Gifford shootings,  in spite of the fact that the moron who committed that crime was a liberal.
